pr0yelhial good luck which naturally
attaches itself to some men sticks to
him. And yet it is not mere good luck,
after all, that keeps men like CARLISLE
and CLEVELAND in the front of Ameri-
can politics. Both of them are blessed
with the genius of common sonse.
1t is more their observation-disclosures than
luck which is responsible for their good
political fortunes. Mr.. CARLIsLE's sec
ond unanimous nomination by his party
for the Office of speaker is something al
most entirely out of the usual course of
politics. 1t seems impossible that a
man could preside for four years over
body III which there is so much rivalry
and jealousy as there is in the lower
branch of congress without creating
some personal antagoniSms, and espe-
cially when the presiding officer is pos
seSsed of such positive traits of charac-
ter as Mr.. CARLISLE possesses.

The little set-to between Representa-
tiveS BLOUNT and BRECKENRIDGE in
Saturday nights caucus augurs lively
session of this congress. Usually con-
gressmen do not get in good sparring
condition until about the holidays. 1t
is positive indication, however, that
the new South is no myth when two
distinguished representatives of that
section can settle a quarrel without the
aid OF pistols and coffee.

Representative BRECKENRIDGE, who
had the scrap with Congressman
BLOUNT, is no stranger in st. Paul. He
was the companion of Senator BECK on
the occasion of the latter'S visit to this
state last fall, and was one of the party
banqueted at the Ryan. He is little
bit of fellow, physically, but as full of
fight as bantam rooster.

OF one thing we are very sure. If
any more congressional fsticuffS are to
occur Our Minnesota representatives
will not be mixed up in them. They
are as amiable set of gentlemen as
ever graced the halls of our national
congress. But for all that, we warn
the pugiliStic members not to run up
against them. Our three Democratic
congressman, particularly, are heavy
weights, and can't be knocked out in
one round.

accommodate everybody, and with that
energy and enterprise which character
ICES all its movements, the GLOBE has
made thorough investigation of the
matter. As the result of our laboriOus
researches we say in all candor, in re-
ply to our correspondents question,
that we don't know when the cable cars
will be running, and we don't believe
there is man on earth who does.

An Eastern scientist is hard at work
trying to invent vocal type-writing
machine. He thinks that he can con-
struct typewriter with winding appa-
Earring of the human voice would re-
lease its motive power and start the
mechanism to work. The idea was
probably suggested by the Partially of
women for the type-writing business.
The Lady DALHoUsIE died of peri
tOnitiS and consequent bloCd-poisOning,
the result of cold contracted while on
her way from st. Paul to New York.
She was very i'll when she reached
Havre. and was carried on shore more
dead than alive. Her husband, the Earl
DALHoUsIE, survived her only one day.
He had heart disease, and the excite
ment caused by his wife's sickness and
death proved fatal. The DALHoUsIEs
leave three sons, the oldest being nine
years old, who succeeds to the earldOm.
